WebOriginate :Tips for Brand Building with Web Design

Building a brand identity is the right technique to get across to the target/potential clients the products and services offered. Website branding is very important considering the time spent on the site by the visitors. The right color, phrases, images, videos should be used to impress the visitors within seconds of they visiting the website.

1. Logo
A good logo design is highly instrumental in establishing a business brand and creating a long lasting impression among its customers. A good logo design creates a professional image of the company and helps in building up the brand.
2. Color
Colour plays a very important role in branding. Colour is the first thing that strikes the visitor’s eye on the website. Using the right colour makes a lot of difference to the website.
3. Consistency
The colours, visuals and the layout should be consistent throughout the website.
4. Reusing code and visuals
Consistent visuals and layout allows you to reuse more of your content, be it stylesheets or images. This means that your site will load faster as the user’s browser doesn’t need to download as many things — old images and CSS are already stored in its cache.
5. Size and position of the logo
It is always advisable to place the logon the top left hand corner of the page or on the centre. The position of the logo and the size is very important.
6. Content
The content on the website should be such that it reinforces the brand’s character and personality.
7. Stand out of the crowd
The website design and the elements used should be different from your competitor’s websites. This will ensure that the visitors visit the website again.

WebOriginate:How to deliver the perfect design

Every client’s design requirement is different. It is good to communicate constantly with the client about their requirements and then initiate the design process. This will avoid the additional time to modify the design of the website.


Know the business
Website branding is very important. Use the standard colours used in the company or the logo colours on the website. Ensure that the logo appears on all pages of the website. Research about the business industry and the target customers, and accordingly design the website.
Be creative :
The website design standard should be according to the industry and the target customers. Design should be apt and original. Design ideas can be gathered from other websites; however, it is always good not to copy the design. The content should be concise.
Attention to detail :
Paying attention to detail is very important. Take care of the details like consistency, colour, layout, fonts used and ensure that the page has a clean overall feel before the website is sent to the client for approval. Lack of attention to detail can leave a site design looking unprofessional.
